Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,930 --> 00:00:02,230
Previously on The Practice.
2
00:00:02,490 --> 00:00:06,010
His name is William Hanks. He's a serial
psycho head chopper. We just
3
00:00:06,010 --> 00:00:10,070
successfully got acquitted. Now he's
obsessed or something with Lindsay. I
4
00:00:10,070 --> 00:00:11,090
want you to scare him.
5
00:00:11,410 --> 00:00:12,410
I'll take care of it, Bobby.
6
00:00:13,770 --> 00:00:17,530
Hello, Lindsay. If you're getting this,
it's at the instructions of my probate
7
00:00:17,530 --> 00:00:19,630
attorney, which means I must be dead.
8
00:00:20,590 --> 00:00:21,590
That's unfortunate.
9
00:00:22,290 --> 00:00:24,550
I usually like to have the last laugh.
10
00:00:25,270 --> 00:00:28,470
This is my little insurance policy on
that.
11
00:00:29,330 --> 00:00:31,070
Get out. What? Go!
12
00:01:05,470 --> 00:01:06,470
Right here.
13
00:01:06,770 --> 00:01:07,810
You just stay calm.
14
00:01:08,990 --> 00:01:09,990
I'm right here.
15
00:01:10,610 --> 00:01:12,430
Can you tell me your injuries? Not yet.
16
00:01:13,710 --> 00:01:14,930
I'm right here with you.
17
00:01:16,190 --> 00:01:17,048
Heart stopped.
18
00:01:17,050 --> 00:01:18,050
Get the paddles.
19
00:01:18,190 --> 00:01:19,190
Charging at 200.
20
00:01:19,210 --> 00:01:20,210
Clear.
21
00:01:21,230 --> 00:01:22,990
Nothing. Charging at 360.
22
00:01:23,390 --> 00:01:24,390
Clear.
23
00:01:26,130 --> 00:01:27,130
Okay, she's back.
24
00:01:27,710 --> 00:01:28,710
She's back. Okay.
25
00:01:30,970 --> 00:01:35,010
20 -year -old female. BP is 120 over 90.
I want to be with her. You can't, sir.
26
00:01:35,010 --> 00:01:36,010
You have to wait here.
27
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:42,630
What do you got? 25 -year -old female in
an explosion. What is the full arrest?
28
00:01:42,910 --> 00:01:43,910
Sir,
29
00:01:46,050 --> 00:01:48,450
sir. I'm sorry, but you cannot go past
this point.
30
00:01:50,130 --> 00:01:51,250
You learn anything more?
31
00:01:52,270 --> 00:01:53,970
Just explosion.
32
00:01:54,390 --> 00:01:55,390
That's all I got.
33
00:01:56,190 --> 00:01:57,190
Lucy was conscious.
34
00:01:57,430 --> 00:01:59,930
I think she's okay.
35
00:02:04,050 --> 00:02:05,050
Thank you.
36
00:03:05,210 --> 00:03:08,430
Have you received any threats to bomb
us? No.
37
00:03:09,410 --> 00:03:10,410
Lucy Hatcher?
38
00:03:10,530 --> 00:03:11,388
That's us.
39
00:03:11,390 --> 00:03:12,388
She's okay.
40
00:03:12,390 --> 00:03:15,830
She suffered a concussion and a couple
of lacerations. Other than that, just
41
00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:16,609
some bruises.
42
00:03:16,610 --> 00:03:17,690
The x -rays were all negative.
43
00:03:17,970 --> 00:03:21,470
Can we see her? She's being stitched up.
After that, they'll bring her out. What
44
00:03:21,470 --> 00:03:22,470
about Rebecca Washington?
45
00:03:22,610 --> 00:03:24,470
The other doctors are treating her. I'll
check for you.
46
00:03:25,610 --> 00:03:26,610
Bobby!
47
00:03:26,770 --> 00:03:27,770
Is she okay?
48
00:03:28,070 --> 00:03:29,070
We don't know.
49
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,340
The doctors are still working on her.
What happened?
50
00:03:33,660 --> 00:03:35,400
There was some kind of explosion in the
office.
51
00:03:35,660 --> 00:03:39,600
What were her injuries? We're not sure
yet. Is she conscious or is she... I
52
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,600
don't think so.
53
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:42,500
Hey, hey, hey.
54
00:03:42,580 --> 00:03:43,580
Lucy.
55
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:45,100
Go, go, go, go.
56
00:03:47,020 --> 00:03:48,120
Are you all right?
57
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,100
Yeah, just some stitches.
58
00:03:51,500 --> 00:03:52,500
What happened?
59
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,540
Well, it makes... What?
60
00:03:56,700 --> 00:03:58,840
There was a tape recorder with a message
in it.
61
00:04:00,270 --> 00:04:05,650
Something about him getting the last
laugh and... Beck said run and then
62
00:04:05,650 --> 00:04:10,550
everything just blew up. The voice. He
identified himself as Hinks. I know his
63
00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:11,550
voice.
64
00:04:14,450 --> 00:04:16,209
Jimmy. Lucy's okay.
65
00:04:16,810 --> 00:04:18,070
We don't know about Rebecca.
66
00:04:18,390 --> 00:04:19,470
Hinks sent them all.
67
00:04:22,530 --> 00:04:24,410
Can I talk to you a bit about this tape
recorder?
68
00:04:27,850 --> 00:04:30,150
I'd also like you to talk to some people
from our bomb squad.
69
00:04:31,650 --> 00:04:32,650
How'd it get there?
70
00:04:32,730 --> 00:04:34,470
Hanks' probate attorney sent it over.
71
00:04:34,690 --> 00:04:35,690
Do you know his name?
72
00:04:35,890 --> 00:04:37,910
There might have been a letter, but I
don't remember.
73
00:04:38,650 --> 00:04:39,650
Dr. Shaw?
74
00:04:40,730 --> 00:04:42,570
Rebecca Washington?
75
00:04:43,790 --> 00:04:44,790
That's my daughter.
76
00:04:45,690 --> 00:04:49,210
She's suffered some pretty tough
internal injuries. There's also some
77
00:04:49,210 --> 00:04:50,169
in the brain.
78
00:04:50,170 --> 00:04:54,410
She's still unconscious and probably
will stay that way until the swelling
79
00:04:54,410 --> 00:04:55,410
down.
80
00:04:55,580 --> 00:04:59,280
We need to repair her spleen, and it's
possible that she may lose a kidney.
81
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:00,840
She's on her way to the OR now.
82
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,740
Is she going to live, Doctor?
83
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,400
Well, we're hoping she will, yes.
84
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,860
We're all hoping. The question is, will
she?
85
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,160
Well, we'll know better once we get in
there.
86
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,740
I'll come out as soon as we're finished.
87
00:05:12,340 --> 00:05:15,300
Doctor, my daughter, she's a Jehovah's
Witness.
88
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,880
She can't have any blood transfusions.
89
00:05:18,380 --> 00:05:20,080
She's not a Jehovah's Witness. She is.
90
00:05:20,380 --> 00:05:22,700
Bobby, I know my daughter's faith.
91
00:05:23,630 --> 00:05:26,510
And she would not want a transfusion
under any circumstances.
92
00:05:27,030 --> 00:05:30,030
Mrs. Washington, she's already lost a
lot of blood.
93
00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:33,910
To withhold a transfusion at this point
would pose a very grave risk.
94
00:05:34,170 --> 00:05:35,170
You can do the surgery.
95
00:05:35,690 --> 00:05:39,090
You can use non -blood alternatives, but
no blood.
96
00:05:41,450 --> 00:05:45,550
Are there any other family members here?
I'm her only family. Lane, I think...
97
00:05:45,550 --> 00:05:46,550
Bobby, no.
98
00:05:51,810 --> 00:05:52,810
What are we facing?
99
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,020
Well, we can do auto -transfusions for
the surgery.
100
00:05:55,540 --> 00:05:59,000
What's that mean? Well, we basically
recycle her own blood. But she's lost
101
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,460
almost three liters coming in.
102
00:06:00,820 --> 00:06:04,060
The odds of her surviving without a
transfusion... Let me talk to her.
103
00:06:04,420 --> 00:06:06,380
Bobby, I said no.
104
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,140
Do the surgery.
105
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:09,760
No blood.
106
00:06:09,780 --> 00:06:10,780
One second, Elaine.
107
00:06:17,260 --> 00:06:18,260
What do I need to do?
108
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,040
I'm sorry? To authorize the transfusion.
Well, you need to convince the mother.
109
00:06:22,330 --> 00:06:25,810
The patient's intent. I can't take your
word over her mother's on what the
110
00:06:25,810 --> 00:06:26,810
patient's intent is.
111
00:06:27,070 --> 00:06:27,849
I'm sorry.
112
00:06:27,850 --> 00:06:30,270
I'm going to go over to the mother, then
I'll come back to you and tell you she
113
00:06:30,270 --> 00:06:33,650
consented. Then you'll be authorized to
give the transfusion. Then you'll be
114
00:06:33,650 --> 00:06:37,510
covered. This authorization isn't to
technically cover the surgeons. It's to
115
00:06:37,510 --> 00:06:40,450
protect the patient's rights. How is
this patient protected if she's going to
116
00:06:40,450 --> 00:06:44,530
die? I'm sorry, but this hospital needs
more than your personal assurance to
117
00:06:44,530 --> 00:06:45,590
perform this transfusion.
118
00:06:54,570 --> 00:06:56,890
Court first thing in the morning. In the
meantime, keep working on Elaine.
119
00:06:57,830 --> 00:06:58,830
Okay.
120
00:07:14,670 --> 00:07:21,210
We found this correspondence in the
debris. It's from Roland
121
00:07:21,210 --> 00:07:22,210
Hofstra.
122
00:07:22,570 --> 00:07:23,730
He's a probate attorney.
123
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,300
Dear Miss Dole, my client bequeathed
this item to you.
124
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:30,980
Sincerely, Roland Hofstra.
125
00:07:31,620 --> 00:07:32,880
Lucy must have thrown it away.
126
00:07:34,260 --> 00:07:37,440
She could have. She was kind of in a
daze over her rape case.
127
00:07:39,180 --> 00:07:40,180
How's Rebecca?
128
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:42,560
She's still in surgery.
129
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:45,840
Bobby is going to go into court.
130
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,460
The mother still won't budge.
131
00:07:48,580 --> 00:07:49,580
Detective.
132
00:07:53,220 --> 00:07:54,220
Eleanor?
133
00:07:56,350 --> 00:07:58,310
Kevin? Thank God. What happened?
134
00:07:59,050 --> 00:08:00,310
Looks like a bomb went off.
135
00:08:03,710 --> 00:08:04,930
Wheelchair to admitting.
136
00:08:05,750 --> 00:08:06,870
Wheelchair to admitting.
137
00:08:08,130 --> 00:08:10,230
Dr. Beringer to ER3.
138
00:08:10,830 --> 00:08:13,810
Dr. Beringer to ER3. We repaired the
spleen.
139
00:08:14,130 --> 00:08:15,830
No other internal organs were damaged.
140
00:08:16,310 --> 00:08:17,670
We didn't have to take the kidney.
141
00:08:18,070 --> 00:08:19,230
She came through pretty well.
142
00:08:19,890 --> 00:08:21,590
Blood loss is still a major concern.
143
00:08:21,810 --> 00:08:24,450
Her heart rate is 168. It should be in
the 70s.
144
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,380
Right now, our biggest worry is that she
could go into shock.
145
00:08:28,420 --> 00:08:29,420
Can I see her?
146
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:30,720
She'll be taken to ICU.
147
00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:32,039
You can see her there in about an hour.
148
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,359
Thank you.
149
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,900
She really needs blood, Mrs. Washington.
150
00:08:38,980 --> 00:08:40,220
I'll have the nurse bring you to the
ICU.
151
00:08:46,420 --> 00:08:47,800
Elaine, please.
152
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:52,400
Eugene.
153
00:08:52,670 --> 00:08:56,570
When she was in surgery, you sat there
for a long time with your eyes closed.
154
00:08:56,910 --> 00:08:58,130
What were you doing?
155
00:09:00,410 --> 00:09:02,570
Praying. You turned to your faith.
156
00:09:03,670 --> 00:09:05,910
My daughter and I would like to turn to
ours.
157
00:09:14,310 --> 00:09:16,150
No warning, no hearing.
158
00:09:16,390 --> 00:09:20,810
Okay, did you facilitate the
relationship? No, I knew about it, but
159
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,680
I was fired because a fellow teacher had
an affair with a student, and I didn't
160
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:26,499
report it.
161
00:09:26,500 --> 00:09:29,500
That's the extent of my participation,
if you could even call it that.
162
00:09:29,740 --> 00:09:32,900
Were you involved in a cover -up? No,
Eleanor, you know me.
163
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,100
I would never... Okay.
164
00:09:36,900 --> 00:09:39,520
The teacher who had the affair, he's a
friend.
165
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,240
Yes. That's probably the problem.
They're finding me guilty by
166
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:48,320
It's not right. I didn't do anything
wrong.
167
00:09:48,780 --> 00:09:50,120
When's the hearing with the school
board?
168
00:09:51,550 --> 00:09:52,550
This afternoon.
169
00:09:52,810 --> 00:09:54,090
And you're coming to me now?
170
00:09:54,310 --> 00:09:59,210
I was going to have my union rep do it,
but... I'll do this.
171
00:10:00,130 --> 00:10:01,570
Let me take one shot with the principal.
172
00:10:02,770 --> 00:10:03,770
What's he like?
173
00:10:04,750 --> 00:10:05,970
Usually fair.
174
00:10:06,610 --> 00:10:07,730
But he's also stubborn.
175
00:10:08,390 --> 00:10:09,390
Is he at school now?
176
00:10:09,850 --> 00:10:10,850
I'm sure he is.
177
00:10:11,430 --> 00:10:12,430
Let's go.
178
00:10:15,790 --> 00:10:17,190
What do you expect me to do?
179
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:21,420
Give me a court order. To override a
person's religious freedom?
180
00:10:21,660 --> 00:10:25,600
It's my opinion that Rebecca Washington
would want the transfusion. And that
181
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,860
would mean something if your opinion
mattered, but it doesn't, Mr. Donald.
182
00:10:28,860 --> 00:10:32,400
have no standing here and you know it. I
believe an argument can be made to
183
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,040
substitute my judgment for the mother's.
Even if that's true, that argument is
184
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,500
certainly not going to be made ex parte.
185
00:10:37,740 --> 00:10:41,160
Time is of the essence. Then why did you
come here without Mrs. Washington?
186
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,160
She was in the hospital room with you.
187
00:10:43,420 --> 00:10:44,119
Your Honor.
188
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,460
You came looking for a favor.
189
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,460
Your Honor, I believe... But I don't
give them.
190
00:10:47,940 --> 00:10:51,020
And truth be told, I'm offended that you
think... I don't give a damn whether
191
00:10:51,020 --> 00:10:53,220
you're offended or not. A person could
die here.
192
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,280
However close to her you may be.
193
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:03,120
If she doesn't get the transfusion, she
will die.
194
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:09,840
I'll give you a hearing.
195
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,040
With the mother.
196
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,320
Give her notice right now, and I'll see
you in an hour.
197
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:24,320
That
198
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:40,900
was
199
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:42,300
Eugene. She's still unconscious.
200
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,280
Come on, Lizzie. We should go.
201
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,840
Are you okay? I'm fine. Let's go.
202
00:11:50,900 --> 00:11:55,480
I just thought, without trivializing the
infraction of a teacher having a sexual
203
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,840
liaison with a student, we can all agree
Kevin Reilly never condoned Milton
204
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:00,739
Buttle's actions.
205
00:12:00,740 --> 00:12:03,020
I don't think that we can agree to that
at all.
206
00:12:03,220 --> 00:12:05,980
Your client was complicit with his
silence, Miss Tut.
207
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,500
Excuse me. It's Frat.
208
00:12:09,329 --> 00:12:14,870
And while we can question Kevin's
decision to remain silent, nothing in
209
00:12:14,870 --> 00:12:17,510
behavior suggests that he either
approved of the affair or even...
210
00:12:17,510 --> 00:12:21,250
his behavior suggests he disapproved of
it. That isn't true, Stephen, and you...
211
00:12:21,250 --> 00:12:25,410
A punishment must be proportionate to
the crime.
212
00:12:25,610 --> 00:12:26,870
Wouldn't you agree there, Mr. Harper?
213
00:12:27,130 --> 00:12:30,950
I would. And does this seem
proportionate? Kevin got the same
214
00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:34,230
Buttle. This sounds like an argument you
should probably be making with the
215
00:12:34,230 --> 00:12:34,989
school board.
216
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:38,250
I was hoping it wouldn't have to come to
that. Well, I'm afraid it will.
217
00:12:39,050 --> 00:12:40,410
My decision is final, Lee.
218
00:12:43,330 --> 00:12:47,970
You know, my uncle's a teacher. Oh,
well, then by all means, Mr. Riley, you
219
00:12:47,970 --> 00:12:50,770
reinstated. We had no idea Mr. Belluti
had an uncle.
220
00:12:52,030 --> 00:12:53,850
I don't think we need to get sarcastic.
221
00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:59,790
What I was about to say, my uncle, he
keeps telling me how we need good
222
00:12:59,790 --> 00:13:01,770
teachers, how there's this big shortage.
223
00:13:02,130 --> 00:13:03,130
And here...
224
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,340
This is a good one. The reason we need
more teachers, Mr. Berluti, is that
225
00:13:07,340 --> 00:13:12,020
people are forsaking the profession due
to the continuing erosion of respect for
226
00:13:12,020 --> 00:13:16,640
educators, which erosion we will never
stem until we begin to get serious about
227
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:17,720
weeding out the bad ones.
228
00:13:18,020 --> 00:13:21,500
That's a bunch of garbage, Scott. Well,
you think the teaching profession will
229
00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:25,320
flourish with you as the poster boy? Mr.
Riley, if Lisa Greer had been one year
230
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,420
younger, your face might be appearing on
posters along with Milton Buttle's. Oh,
231
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:30,820
that's funny. All right, Luke.
232
00:13:31,370 --> 00:13:34,730
This isn't a decision we made easily,
but it is one which was nevertheless
233
00:13:34,730 --> 00:13:38,110
warranted, and I'll stick by it. If you
want to take your case to the school
234
00:13:38,110 --> 00:13:40,050
board, you are certainly free to do so.
235
00:13:41,250 --> 00:13:43,150
Any other way I can be helpful, Miss
Front?
236
00:13:45,010 --> 00:13:46,630
Well, maybe a tip.
237
00:13:46,910 --> 00:13:51,410
I've never appeared before the school
board before, so I was wondering, does
238
00:13:51,410 --> 00:13:54,750
your kind of blatant condescension prove
to be persuasive there?
239
00:13:56,390 --> 00:13:57,390
I think we're done.
240
00:13:58,330 --> 00:13:59,330
No, Mr. Harper.
241
00:14:00,420 --> 00:14:01,420
We're not.
242
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:07,680
I thought it was a tape recorder.
243
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,600
Where were you keeping it, Mr. Hofstra?
244
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,380
Look, I'm not comfortable answering...
We're not going anywhere, Mr. Hofstra.
245
00:14:13,420 --> 00:14:14,860
You will answer these questions.
246
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:16,760
Please sit.
247
00:14:21,340 --> 00:14:22,760
Where were you keeping it?
248
00:14:22,980 --> 00:14:24,400
In a safety deposit box.
249
00:14:24,700 --> 00:14:27,520
And he instructed you to deliver it to
Miss Dole upon his death?
250
00:14:27,940 --> 00:14:32,200
Yes. Why didn't you identify it as
coming from Mr. Hinks? That was one of
251
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,360
stipulations in the codicil, that he
didn't want to be identified.
252
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:36,839
Did you know Mr.
253
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,520
Hinks to be an alleged serial killer?
254
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:44,180
Well, certainly he talked about it,
but... Ms. Gamble, it was a will.
255
00:14:44,420 --> 00:14:46,400
I am a trust and estates attorney.
256
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,580
I thought it was a tape recorder.
257
00:14:48,980 --> 00:14:50,440
I had it in my own safe.
258
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:53,040
I never suspected it to be a bomb.
259
00:14:57,870 --> 00:14:58,970
Place him under arrest.
260
00:14:59,250 --> 00:15:03,650
What? Right now it's an accessory to a
felony. If Rebecca Washington dies, that
261
00:15:03,650 --> 00:15:04,870
felony becomes murder.
262
00:15:05,190 --> 00:15:06,330
You can't be serious.
263
00:15:06,930 --> 00:15:07,930
Michael.
264
00:15:08,670 --> 00:15:10,150
Mr. Hofstra, you can go.
265
00:15:10,490 --> 00:15:12,090
Richard. Do not leave the jurisdiction.
266
00:15:12,490 --> 00:15:13,490
Now get out.
267
00:15:19,850 --> 00:15:22,450
Helen. Richard, a woman is almost dead.
268
00:15:22,670 --> 00:15:24,670
You know me. I like to arrest everybody.
269
00:15:25,530 --> 00:15:29,470
But the thing was in his own safety
deposit box. He clearly didn't think it
270
00:15:29,470 --> 00:15:30,069
a bomb.
271
00:15:30,070 --> 00:15:33,670
It's still negligence. He knows the guy
to be a killer. And even if there were a
272
00:15:33,670 --> 00:15:35,430
case, you essentially just squashed it
yourself.
273
00:15:35,790 --> 00:15:39,330
You didn't Mirandize the guy. Come on.
Lawyer or not, he has to be read his
274
00:15:39,330 --> 00:15:43,390
rights. Only if it's custodial. Which it
became once you wouldn't let him leave.
275
00:15:46,910 --> 00:15:49,330
Look, emotions are running high here.
276
00:15:49,970 --> 00:15:52,250
But there's no case to be made against
this attorney.
277
00:15:53,070 --> 00:15:54,310
At least not yet.
278
00:15:59,180 --> 00:16:02,740
Though there might be a presumption in
favor of family members, it's not
279
00:16:02,740 --> 00:16:07,440
conclusive. I direct the court's
attention in Ray, 1987, case in New
280
00:16:07,540 --> 00:16:11,360
There, the court wanted to vest
decisions of medical treatment with the
281
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:12,360
concerned parties.
282
00:16:12,660 --> 00:16:14,420
Wouldn't it be tough to beat the mother
on that?
283
00:16:14,660 --> 00:16:18,760
Not when the mother is refusing the
transfusion, risking the patient's life.
284
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:23,060
There are also two other legal standards
being employed by the courts. Best
285
00:16:23,060 --> 00:16:24,560
interests of the patient, here again.
286
00:16:25,020 --> 00:16:27,900
saving her life would be in her best
interests.
287
00:16:28,140 --> 00:16:32,120
Your Honor, this is about a religious
choice. The cases Mr. Donald talks about
288
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,320
involve medical decisions.
289
00:16:33,900 --> 00:16:37,540
Certainly, if Mrs. Washington were
trying to impose her medical judgments,
290
00:16:37,540 --> 00:16:41,200
doctors of the courts could step in.
That is not what she is doing. She is
291
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,640
exercising a religious freedom.
292
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,780
Yes, the mother's freedom.
293
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,240
This does not reflect what Rebecca would
want.
294
00:16:49,740 --> 00:16:52,180
Which brings us to the substituted
judgment standard.
295
00:16:52,420 --> 00:16:56,440
In the absence of a clear directive from
the patient, the court can substitute
296
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,160
its judgment for that patient.
297
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,020
And in looking to... Hold on, Mr.
Donald.
298
00:17:01,060 --> 00:17:04,180
Jehovah's Witnesses are against blood
transfusions. Is there any dispute about
299
00:17:04,180 --> 00:17:05,180
that?
300
00:17:05,869 --> 00:17:09,790
It seems then that the only question is
whether or not Ms. Washington is in fact
301
00:17:09,790 --> 00:17:13,829
a Jehovah's Witness, because if she
is... She isn't. We have the declaration
302
00:17:13,829 --> 00:17:17,010
a mother. I can also proffer other
Jehovah's Witnesses who've attended
303
00:17:17,010 --> 00:17:21,450
with her. Even if she is, I submit there
are Jehovah's Witnesses who would take
304
00:17:21,450 --> 00:17:24,270
the transfusion. Oh, come on, counsel.
Just like there are Catholics who favor
305
00:17:24,270 --> 00:17:26,470
birth control and Jews who believe in
Jesus.
306
00:17:27,050 --> 00:17:30,430
Just because somebody subscribes to a
particular religion doesn't mean he or
307
00:17:30,430 --> 00:17:32,290
accepts all the tenets practiced.
308
00:17:32,690 --> 00:17:35,310
But certainly the presumption would have
to be that she wouldn't want the
309
00:17:35,310 --> 00:17:39,170
transfusion. How can you make that
presumption when the likely result is
310
00:17:40,730 --> 00:17:43,050
Shouldn't the benefit of the doubt go to
her surviving?
311
00:17:43,310 --> 00:17:47,130
Look, unless you can demonstrate that
Miss Washington would accept a
312
00:17:47,130 --> 00:17:50,550
transfusion, can you?
313
00:17:51,709 --> 00:17:55,870
I believe with a short evidentiary
hearing, we could prove that she would
314
00:17:55,870 --> 00:17:57,190
the transfusion, yes.
315
00:17:57,970 --> 00:17:58,970
Let's go then.
316
00:18:01,450 --> 00:18:04,590
Well, we need an hour to get our
witnesses.
317
00:18:05,290 --> 00:18:06,290
You have an hour.
318
00:18:12,090 --> 00:18:13,090
What are you going to do?
319
00:18:13,750 --> 00:18:14,830
I'm open to suggestions.
320
00:18:15,690 --> 00:18:18,430
Actually, Rebecca told you once that she
would want the transfusion, right?
321
00:18:19,260 --> 00:18:21,280
No, Fox would see through that. I think
she told Lucy.
322
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,780
Bobby. I can't just let her die.
323
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,600
You're not going to suborn perjury.
Everybody can sue me after she wakes up.
324
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:28,780
Bobby, I won't let you.
325
00:18:48,470 --> 00:18:49,470
Eugene?
326
00:18:50,650 --> 00:18:51,650
No change.
327
00:18:52,710 --> 00:18:54,490
I just gave her a CAT scan.
328
00:18:56,950 --> 00:18:59,070
Swelling on her brain is going down.
329
00:19:01,650 --> 00:19:02,650
That's good.
330
00:19:06,590 --> 00:19:07,830
What happened in court?
331
00:19:09,050 --> 00:19:10,590
The judge wants a hearing.
332
00:19:10,830 --> 00:19:12,050
We have to go back.
333
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:19,900
all of you doing this?
334
00:19:22,860 --> 00:19:23,860
We love her.
335
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:26,600
I know you do, too.
336
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,280
Everybody's just trying to do what they
think is right.
337
00:19:34,220 --> 00:19:35,720
She feels so cold.
338
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:37,620
It's the blood loss, Elaine.
339
00:19:37,860 --> 00:19:38,980
Her extremities are getting cold.
340
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,780
What's the harm in giving her blood?
341
00:19:53,260 --> 00:19:55,520
It's a biblical prohibition, Eugene.
342
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,160
I'm right here, baby.
343
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,980
Your mother's right here.
344
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,560
All right, Mr. Donald, let's hear from
you.
345
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,660
I'd like to call a witness, Your Honor.
346
00:20:44,940 --> 00:20:46,520
Yes, I gathered as much. Go ahead.
347
00:20:46,820 --> 00:20:48,920
I call Helene Washington to the stand.
348
00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:53,760
I'm sorry. What is going on? We're
trying to determine Rebecca Washington's
349
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,740
intent here. Her mother is claiming she
knows that intent. I'd like to explore.
350
00:20:56,940 --> 00:21:01,300
My client has faced enough persecution,
Your Honor. Her daughter is deathly ill.
351
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,780
Now she's forced to be in court. Her
daughter is deathly ill because of this
352
00:21:04,780 --> 00:21:08,240
witness, and we're in court. I object to
that. Bobby, Mr. Donald.
353
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,840
I am not going to allow you to beat
answers out of this witness to
354
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,260
I allowed an evidentiary hearing here or
not?
355
00:21:15,300 --> 00:21:18,740
Forgive my breach of decorum, but get
your ass up to this bench right now.
356
00:21:26,660 --> 00:21:31,520
With all due respect to your emotion,
and I know it runs deep here, I will not
357
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:36,020
allow you to abuse this process, that
woman, or me.
358
00:21:36,970 --> 00:21:38,370
Have you got that, Mr. Donald?
359
00:21:39,610 --> 00:21:43,470
Yes. You keep yourself in check and in
line.
360
00:21:47,230 --> 00:21:49,710
All right, Mrs. Washington, please take
the witness chair.
361
00:22:02,450 --> 00:22:04,230
This is Superintendent Thayer.
362
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,600
Marcia Shin, known as the Dragon Lady.
363
00:22:07,140 --> 00:22:08,940
Well, we won't be calling her that.
364
00:22:09,820 --> 00:22:10,820
Are they close?
365
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,280
No. They're basically enemies.
366
00:22:13,620 --> 00:22:15,280
They don't look like enemies at the
moment.
367
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:16,940
Okay, let's get started.
368
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,340
This meeting of the Winslow School Board
is hereby called to order. Karen Sawyer
369
00:22:22,340 --> 00:22:23,460
will be recording minutes.
370
00:22:24,380 --> 00:22:29,020
We ought to review Principal Harper's
decision to terminate the employment of
371
00:22:29,020 --> 00:22:30,020
Kevin Riley.
372
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,360
Now, Mr. Harper, we'll begin with you.
373
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:37,280
Would you briefly state the cause of the
discharge and please limit yourself to
374
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,280
three minutes.
375
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,740
One of my teachers, Milton Buttle, was
sleeping with a student.
376
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,160
Kevin Riley knew about it and sent him
the information.
377
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:11,880
How long have we known each other,
Helene?
378
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,200
More than ten years.
379
00:23:13,500 --> 00:23:16,360
And over that time, I've seen your
daughter almost every single day,
380
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:17,520
I'm sure that's true.
381
00:23:18,140 --> 00:23:19,260
How often do you see her?
382
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:20,700
Not as much as I'd like.
383
00:23:21,140 --> 00:23:22,140
One day a week?
384
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,560
Less? Less.
385
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:26,100
But that doesn't mean that we're not
close.
386
00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:27,360
No, it doesn't.
387
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,020
But can you make room for the
possibility that I know more about her
388
00:23:31,020 --> 00:23:34,400
perhaps you do? I'm sure you know lots
of things about her I don't.
389
00:23:34,700 --> 00:23:37,620
But clearly you had little idea as to
her religious beliefs.
390
00:23:37,820 --> 00:23:38,940
Which is odd, isn't it?
391
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,720
Isn't it customary for Jehovah's
Witnesses to preach their faith to
392
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,020
all Jehovah's Witnesses are comfortable
doing that. Not all? We're talking about
393
00:23:47,020 --> 00:23:51,160
Rebecca. Have you ever known Rebecca to
be shy or uncomfortable expressing her
394
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,160
opinion? No.
395
00:23:52,660 --> 00:23:56,920
But perhaps she feared bigotry. Not
everybody's as open -minded as you,
396
00:23:57,060 --> 00:24:00,840
Yes, let's talk about bigotry. Have you
ever known Rebecca to be guilty of
397
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:05,300
bigotry? No. In fact, I don't know
anybody who rebels against oppression or
398
00:24:05,300 --> 00:24:06,900
prejudice more than her. Do you?
399
00:24:07,300 --> 00:24:08,300
Probably not.
400
00:24:09,130 --> 00:24:11,690
How did Jehovah's Witnesses feel about
homosexuals?
401
00:24:12,770 --> 00:24:14,410
Homosexuality is considered a sin.
402
00:24:14,650 --> 00:24:18,910
Have you ever known Rebecca to condemn
homosexuality? No. What about divorce?
403
00:24:19,310 --> 00:24:23,070
Under your faith, a married couple is
only allowed to divorce in cases of
404
00:24:23,070 --> 00:24:25,370
adultery. Anything else would be a sin.
Am I right?
405
00:24:25,630 --> 00:24:29,590
Yes. And yet Rebecca has represented
clients, negotiated, even facilitated
406
00:24:29,590 --> 00:24:33,730
divorces in cases other than adultery.
Is that consistent with being a
407
00:24:33,730 --> 00:24:36,610
Witness? My daughter is against blood
transfusions.
408
00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:38,800
She said that to you specifically.
409
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,840
She didn't have to say it specifically.
410
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,160
It's fundamental to our faith.
411
00:24:43,620 --> 00:24:50,400
Leviticus says, whatsoever man eateth
any manner of blood, he will cut him off
412
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,340
from among his people. So she might be
against transfusions, but not
413
00:24:54,340 --> 00:24:55,760
homosexuals and divorce.
414
00:24:56,100 --> 00:24:59,500
Objection. Your Honor, Rebecca
Washington's life is at stake here.
415
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,080
Her life.
416
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,540
If there's even a question as to whether
she really is a Jehovah's Witness...
417
00:25:04,540 --> 00:25:05,920
There is no...
418
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,500
Rebecca has a problem with bigotry.
419
00:25:10,740 --> 00:25:14,980
I grant you she probably does disagree
with the condemnation of homosexuality,
420
00:25:14,980 --> 00:25:15,980
but... What about premarital sex?
421
00:25:16,180 --> 00:25:18,540
That's a sin, too, according to the
Jehovah's Witness faith.
422
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,100
Does your daughter condemn premarital
sex?
423
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:24,720
I'm sure she may have issue with some of
our tenets.
424
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:30,060
But as for our fundamental ones, and
this would be... When she became a
425
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,820
did you attend her swearing -in
ceremony?
426
00:25:32,260 --> 00:25:33,780
Yes, I did, and you were there, too.
427
00:25:34,350 --> 00:25:36,770
I remember her pledging allegiance to
the flag.
428
00:25:36,990 --> 00:25:40,430
That's against your religion, isn't it?
As long as you don't conscientiously
429
00:25:40,430 --> 00:25:45,450
participate in... She was saying the
words, pledging her allegiance to an
430
00:25:45,450 --> 00:25:46,450
emblem.
431
00:25:49,750 --> 00:25:50,850
What about abortion?
432
00:25:52,050 --> 00:25:53,910
That's prohibited by your religion,
isn't it?
433
00:25:54,210 --> 00:25:57,450
Very. Would you consider that one of the
fundamental tenets?
434
00:25:57,730 --> 00:25:58,709
I would.
435
00:25:58,710 --> 00:26:00,630
Would Rebecca ever have an abortion?
436
00:26:01,150 --> 00:26:02,150
Absolutely not.
437
00:26:03,530 --> 00:26:05,070
Did you know she had one?
438
00:26:09,550 --> 00:26:10,550
No, I didn't.
439
00:26:14,470 --> 00:26:18,910
Homosexuality, divorce, premarital sex,
saluting flags, abortion.
440
00:26:19,370 --> 00:26:23,210
Jehovah's Witnesses are against all
these things, yet Rebecca doesn't
441
00:26:23,210 --> 00:26:24,210
any of them.
442
00:26:24,730 --> 00:26:27,390
She is not a Jehovah's Witness. She is.
443
00:26:28,190 --> 00:26:32,130
And she's against blood transfusions.
Why doesn't she carry a blood card?
444
00:26:32,410 --> 00:26:36,330
Jehovah's typically carry blood cards to
prevent transfusions, don't they? It is
445
00:26:36,330 --> 00:26:37,450
not a requirement.
446
00:26:37,850 --> 00:26:41,930
But if she were really opposed to such a
transfusion, did she just forget to put
447
00:26:41,930 --> 00:26:43,150
it in her wallet, Helene?
448
00:26:43,590 --> 00:26:46,130
Objection. It's your own daughter, for
God's sake. Your Honor.
449
00:26:46,350 --> 00:26:47,350
You're letting her die.
450
00:26:47,490 --> 00:26:49,370
Counsel. Objection. Your own daughter.
451
00:26:49,690 --> 00:26:51,610
You're letting this voodoo.
452
00:26:52,070 --> 00:26:53,510
Objection. Mr. Donald.
453
00:26:54,950 --> 00:26:56,090
Your own daughter.
454
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:02,640
It's Foxball.
455
00:27:05,660 --> 00:27:09,500
As you go through the teacher's
handbook, the principal's bylines, and
456
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:14,140
board's own directives, nowhere does it
call for a teacher's discharge for
457
00:27:14,140 --> 00:27:18,280
failing to report the misconduct of
another teacher. Are you claiming that
458
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,940
Harper had no authority to fire Mr.
Riley? I am saying he had discretion.
459
00:27:22,940 --> 00:27:27,540
given that, we should look at Mr.
Riley's record in its totality. Are you
460
00:27:27,540 --> 00:27:29,900
admitting this is discretionary, Ms.
Frutt?
461
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,680
What's the basis of your challenge?
462
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:32,920
I am saying Mr.
463
00:27:33,100 --> 00:27:35,840
Harper's decision was an abuse of his
discretion.
464
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,340
To terminate... Do you agree Milton
Buttle should have been fired?
465
00:27:40,020 --> 00:27:44,460
Yes, but... What if Milton Buttle had
carried on this affair using Kevin
466
00:27:44,460 --> 00:27:47,200
apartment? That never happened. I'm
asking you, what if it did?
467
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:48,559
If Mr.
468
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,660
Riley had offered up the keys to his
apartment?
469
00:27:51,060 --> 00:27:54,260
That might be participation, but... What
if he just offered words of
470
00:27:54,260 --> 00:27:56,400
encouragement? Go for it, Milt.
471
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:58,760
Would he have crossed the line there?
472
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:05,040
I think yes, but again, he didn't do
that. Maybe not, but saying nothing,
473
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:09,320
that be construed as tacit approval? He
did say something to Milton Buttle. He
474
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,940
unequivocally denounced the relationship
and told him to end it. He only was
475
00:28:13,940 --> 00:28:16,780
silent with Stephen Harper and Scott
Goober.
476
00:28:19,180 --> 00:28:20,920
Okay, I think we understand your
position.
477
00:28:21,420 --> 00:28:22,420
Mr. Harper?
478
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:25,720
You know my position.
479
00:28:39,690 --> 00:28:42,170
The board votes to discharge Kevin
Riley.
480
00:28:42,530 --> 00:28:43,529
Thank you.
481
00:28:43,530 --> 00:28:46,470
This meeting is adjourned. Wait a
second. What's the rush?
482
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:50,230
You have an appropriate remedy with the
court, should you choose to appeal.
483
00:28:52,690 --> 00:28:54,230
The hell was that, Stephen?
484
00:28:54,430 --> 00:28:59,250
Kevin, the best thing you could do now
is start taking responsibility.
485
00:29:01,350 --> 00:29:02,730
Ms. Freck, Mr. Berluti.
486
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,040
I'm sorry. That was in the bag.
487
00:29:15,740 --> 00:29:20,500
Virtually all the cases, all of them,
where the courts are trying to make
488
00:29:20,500 --> 00:29:24,720
tough decisions, they've involved
comatose or vegetative patients.
489
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,120
The choice was basically death versus
vegetable.
490
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:33,340
Here, the choice is death versus full
quality of life.
491
00:29:33,980 --> 00:29:35,120
Complete recovery.
492
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,280
The same legal standards can apply.
493
00:29:38,500 --> 00:29:42,520
If there's any doubt, I say it again, it
has to be in favor of Rebecca
494
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:43,820
Washington's life.
495
00:29:44,300 --> 00:29:49,720
But, counsel, I would agree if this was
a medical decision. But, again, this
496
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:54,980
involves a person's religious freedom.
And I submit she's not a Jehovah's
497
00:29:54,980 --> 00:29:58,140
Witness, not for real. They've given me
an affidavit from her fellow
498
00:29:58,140 --> 00:30:03,160
congregants, her mother. Rebecca and her
mother were estranged years ago.
499
00:30:03,690 --> 00:30:06,530
Maybe she joined this church to work on
their relationship.
500
00:30:06,890 --> 00:30:11,650
You're groping. I have worked side by
side with Rebecca Washington for 12
501
00:30:12,190 --> 00:30:13,250
I know her.
502
00:30:13,730 --> 00:30:17,330
She doesn't go around preaching to
people on the streets. She doesn't
503
00:30:17,330 --> 00:30:21,530
homosexuality. She doesn't object to the
national anthem. She doesn't denounce
504
00:30:21,530 --> 00:30:22,530
premarital sex.
505
00:30:22,970 --> 00:30:24,970
She had an abortion herself.
506
00:30:25,350 --> 00:30:30,370
She represents clients in divorce cases.
None of this is reconcilable with her
507
00:30:30,370 --> 00:30:32,390
being a Jehovah's Witness. None of it.
508
00:30:33,070 --> 00:30:36,530
And if you want to believe she is, you
have to believe she's a kind that
509
00:30:36,530 --> 00:30:38,210
subscribe to all its tenants.
510
00:30:39,410 --> 00:30:43,730
And given that, given the possibility
that she might not subscribe to the
511
00:30:43,730 --> 00:30:50,370
prohibition on transfusions, if there's
any question here,
512
00:30:50,450 --> 00:30:56,850
please give her
513
00:30:56,850 --> 00:30:59,290
the benefit of life.
514
00:31:00,750 --> 00:31:02,070
I love this woman.
515
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,420
But the doctors can't save her unless
you allow them to.
516
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:26,280
No.
517
00:31:27,340 --> 00:31:29,300
Your Honor, may I be heard?
518
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:31,520
You may.
519
00:31:37,870 --> 00:31:43,010
My daughter, we've talked many hours
about our faith.
520
00:31:44,590 --> 00:31:46,850
She is a Jehovah's Witness.
521
00:31:47,230 --> 00:31:52,470
For a Jehovah's Witness, it is against
God's law to accept blood.
522
00:31:52,690 --> 00:31:54,810
There is no question there.
523
00:31:55,510 --> 00:31:58,030
There is no dispute about that.
524
00:31:58,930 --> 00:32:03,810
It is the most fundamental of all our
tenets.
525
00:32:04,670 --> 00:32:05,670
Bobby Donald.
526
00:32:06,410 --> 00:32:10,470
gave himself away when he called our
faith voodoo.
527
00:32:11,030 --> 00:32:17,090
I'm sure to him it is voodoo, that
freedom of religion extends to all
528
00:32:17,090 --> 00:32:23,990
religions, whether Bobby Donald
considers them reasonable or
529
00:32:23,990 --> 00:32:24,990
not.
530
00:32:46,060 --> 00:32:47,060
Best I can figure.
531
00:32:47,460 --> 00:32:50,340
Harper and Shin have butted heads all
year, and she's just trying to show
532
00:32:50,340 --> 00:32:52,200
support. Does she control the board?
533
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:53,499
Pretty much.
534
00:32:53,500 --> 00:32:54,500
All right, look.
535
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,180
In victory, you can catch people at
their most gracious. So what I'd like to
536
00:32:58,180 --> 00:33:02,700
is take one last crack at Harper. If
he's as fair -minded as you say,
537
00:33:02,700 --> 00:33:04,460
personally I have not seen that yet.
538
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:06,920
Any word?
539
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,820
Her blood pressure has dropped to 90,
and her heart rate is still really high.
540
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,420
Did Fox say when she'd rule?
541
00:33:13,100 --> 00:33:14,300
She promised by tonight.
542
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,340
People have a right to refuse medical
treatment on religious grounds.
543
00:33:51,260 --> 00:33:57,320
Whether or not Rebecca Washington would
refuse a blood transfusion, the truth is
544
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,180
nobody here knows for sure.
545
00:34:00,020 --> 00:34:03,220
As a Jehovah's Witness, my suspicion is
she would.
546
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,420
And therefore, I shift the burden to Mr.
Donald to prove otherwise.
547
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:12,860
The fact that Ms. Washington rejected
other tenets of this faith
548
00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:16,679
Does not persuade me she'd reject this
one.
549
00:34:17,179 --> 00:34:20,500
The fact remains the tenet on
transfusions.
550
00:34:21,060 --> 00:34:26,639
That goes to the core of the Jehovah's
Witness religion in that God treats
551
00:34:26,639 --> 00:34:27,780
as sacred.
552
00:34:29,699 --> 00:34:34,199
Mrs. Washington, are you sure this is
what your daughter would want?
553
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:38,639
I am, Your Honor.
554
00:34:42,310 --> 00:34:44,310
Petitioner's motion for a court order is
denied.
555
00:34:45,510 --> 00:34:46,870
She is going to die.
556
00:34:47,070 --> 00:34:49,770
We're adjourned. She is going to die.
Counsel.
557
00:34:50,030 --> 00:34:53,389
I don't care. You want to hold me in
contempt, do it. I don't care. She is
558
00:34:53,389 --> 00:34:57,230
to die. I will hold you in contempt. I'm
taking this to the Court of Appeals
559
00:34:57,230 --> 00:34:58,530
now. Oh, my God. Oh.
560
00:34:59,190 --> 00:35:00,510
Lindsay. Oh, God.
561
00:35:00,870 --> 00:35:02,250
Lindsay. Get the paramedics.
562
00:35:02,670 --> 00:35:05,350
I think she's hemorrhaging. Let me see.
Oh, God.
563
00:35:05,610 --> 00:35:06,650
He's coming out.
564
00:35:06,890 --> 00:35:09,330
What? Get a doctor. Somebody get a
doctor. Oh, he's coming.
565
00:35:11,050 --> 00:35:13,350
Get out of medical training. Get out of
this room now, and that's an order. I
566
00:35:13,350 --> 00:35:17,390
was a nurse. Lindsay, hold on. Help is
coming. Oh, my God. He's not waiting.
567
00:35:17,390 --> 00:35:18,229
He's coming.
568
00:35:18,230 --> 00:35:20,550
He's not through for a month. I didn't
know that.
569
00:35:21,230 --> 00:35:24,110
Turn on your back. On your back. Get on
your back.
570
00:35:28,490 --> 00:35:29,490
Okay.
571
00:35:30,510 --> 00:35:33,610
Now, I want you to push on the count of
three.
572
00:35:34,230 --> 00:35:36,230
One, two, three.
573
00:35:39,530 --> 00:35:41,030
This baby's coming now, Mr. Donald.
574
00:35:41,530 --> 00:35:44,850
Howdy, girl. Now, one, two, three.
575
00:35:47,610 --> 00:35:48,810
Hold on, Lindsay.
576
00:35:50,470 --> 00:35:53,370
Breathe deep, Lindsay. Breathe deep and
push.
577
00:35:53,710 --> 00:35:54,710
Now it hurts.
578
00:35:54,970 --> 00:35:58,650
Just hold on, Lindsay. Shut up. You hold
on.
579
00:35:58,950 --> 00:35:59,950
Good. Good.
580
00:36:14,410 --> 00:36:15,410
I took a guess.
581
00:36:16,030 --> 00:36:19,570
From your weak social skills, I figured
you'd have no personal life and that
582
00:36:19,570 --> 00:36:20,569
you'd still be working.
583
00:36:20,570 --> 00:36:21,730
Oh, I like that.
584
00:36:22,630 --> 00:36:23,630
Can I steal it?
585
00:36:24,290 --> 00:36:25,290
Feel free.
586
00:36:28,530 --> 00:36:29,530
Have a seat.
587
00:36:30,310 --> 00:36:33,750
I know you can, but do you have to?
588
00:36:37,430 --> 00:36:40,510
You don't give up, do you? Well, the
book on you is that you are both
589
00:36:40,510 --> 00:36:41,830
compassionate and stubborn.
590
00:36:42,850 --> 00:36:43,850
I've seen the stubborn.
591
00:36:44,330 --> 00:36:46,410
And the book on you is you personalize
your cases.
592
00:36:46,650 --> 00:36:48,250
Well, Kevin is also a friend.
593
00:36:49,350 --> 00:36:50,830
And I thought he was one of yours.
594
00:36:51,050 --> 00:36:55,630
Yeah, which would make his lying to me
even more egregious, wouldn't it? Is
595
00:36:55,630 --> 00:36:56,549
why we're here?
596
00:36:56,550 --> 00:36:57,550
Because he lied?
597
00:36:57,630 --> 00:36:59,090
I'm here trying to run a school.
598
00:37:00,610 --> 00:37:04,230
You're here, apparently, to try to tell
me how to. I am only here to try to get
599
00:37:04,230 --> 00:37:05,230
you to reconsider.
600
00:37:05,290 --> 00:37:06,290
Asked and answered.
601
00:37:07,570 --> 00:37:08,570
Isn't that how it goes?
602
00:37:10,730 --> 00:37:14,090
I did not come here to fight, and I
don't really want to go to court.
603
00:37:16,990 --> 00:37:17,990
Two weeks suspension.
604
00:37:18,390 --> 00:37:21,730
That way... I don't have the authority
to suspend him.
605
00:37:22,290 --> 00:37:23,290
Why not?
606
00:37:23,310 --> 00:37:24,730
He doesn't work here anymore.
607
00:37:25,530 --> 00:37:26,530
He was fired.
608
00:37:31,490 --> 00:37:33,410
Do you want to go to court, Mr. Harper?
609
00:37:38,790 --> 00:37:39,790
Seems I do.
610
00:37:42,570 --> 00:37:43,610
Push hard, honey.
611
00:37:44,110 --> 00:37:45,750
One, two, three.
612
00:37:49,510 --> 00:37:52,830
Where do you think?
613
00:37:53,150 --> 00:37:54,650
You're one last push away, okay?
614
00:37:54,910 --> 00:37:59,910
Now I want you to bear down and push.
Push hard. Okay.
615
00:38:24,339 --> 00:38:25,339
He's perfect.
616
00:38:26,980 --> 00:38:27,980
Isn't he perfect?
617
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:29,960
Bobby.
618
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:33,880
We have a son.
619
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:35,520
We have a son.
620
00:38:36,140 --> 00:38:37,240
You are a big help.
621
00:39:02,060 --> 00:39:03,060
In the courtroom?
622
00:39:04,540 --> 00:39:05,540
My, my.
623
00:39:05,900 --> 00:39:10,640
And Lizzie, are you guys coming here to
this hospital?
624
00:39:13,240 --> 00:39:16,980
Well, I don't know what to say, Bobby.
625
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:19,240
Congratulations, man.
626
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:23,560
She's doing the same.
627
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,080
I'm going to give her this news.
628
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:27,500
Maybe that'll wake her up.
629
00:39:39,310 --> 00:39:40,990
You're not going to believe this, Becky.
630
00:39:42,190 --> 00:39:44,430
Bobby and Lindsey just had a baby boy.
631
00:39:45,690 --> 00:39:47,830
She had him right in the courtroom.
632
00:39:48,250 --> 00:39:49,250
How about that?
633
00:39:53,470 --> 00:39:54,510
Mysterious ways, huh?
634
00:40:22,830 --> 00:40:23,788
Are you okay?
635
00:40:23,790 --> 00:40:25,230
I'm fine. Short labor.
636
00:40:25,510 --> 00:40:26,510
God, look at him.
637
00:40:26,690 --> 00:40:27,690
Does he have a name?
638
00:40:28,310 --> 00:40:30,510
Robert. You named him after you?
639
00:40:30,750 --> 00:40:31,729
What a shock.
640
00:40:31,730 --> 00:40:34,670
Here's my page. I'm waiting for a call
from the appeals court. Any change with
641
00:40:34,670 --> 00:40:35,670
Beck? No.
642
00:40:36,810 --> 00:40:39,230
It's possible that we can get in
tonight. Where's Eleanor?
643
00:40:39,490 --> 00:40:42,810
Bobby? I'll be right there. I need you
and Eleanor to get on Westlaw, see if
644
00:40:42,810 --> 00:40:45,090
there's any new cases. All our research
isn't here.
645
00:40:47,450 --> 00:40:49,050
Her heart rate's still too high.
646
00:40:50,330 --> 00:40:51,470
Has it gone up anymore?
647
00:40:52,030 --> 00:40:55,010
No, it's still 140, but that's
dangerous, Mrs. Washington.
648
00:40:55,790 --> 00:40:57,410
But it hasn't gotten any worse.
649
00:40:58,570 --> 00:40:59,570
No.
650
00:41:00,950 --> 00:41:02,650
Well, there's that, then.
651
00:41:03,990 --> 00:41:04,990
Hey, baby.
652
00:41:17,730 --> 00:41:20,010
So I hear you're delivering babies now.
653
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:32,279
Is he fine?
654
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:33,280
Yeah, she's in the room.
655
00:41:33,420 --> 00:41:34,420
Go up and see her.
656
00:41:42,060 --> 00:41:43,060
Hey, Beck.
657
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:44,480
You're a godmother now.
658
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:48,800
Seven pounds, two ounces.
659
00:42:00,620 --> 00:42:01,800
I just need for you to wake up.
660
00:42:03,980 --> 00:42:05,780
Would anyone like to join me in a
prayer?
